Duet2 ethernet and 12864 display using ST7567

@droftarts I'm using a Duet2Wifi and M150 results in a Command not supported error. This is with 3.2.2

Same here on Duet Ethernet... no baclight and M150 "Command Not Supported"

At least its working, I can now look at a custom menu set.

I built a little connector conversion board to address custom the loom requirements, see below.

Thanks for the help folks

@droftarts @dc42

Hi guys, it there any information on @rilot and my issue re Duet Ethernet / WiFi and the 12864 display doesn't have a working backlight and M150 "Command Not Supported".

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

All the best

@cncmodeller M150 is not supported on Duet2 due to lack of memory. There are some details in this thread but it is hard to follow. That thread specifically says V2.1 of the display (the one with a NeoPixel) does not work on Duet2.

I can confirm a Fysetc V1.2 12864 display works on Duet2 with RRF 3.2.2, you just need a custom wiring loom. I have since moved on to a Mini5+ where the V2.1 is natively supported.

Thanks for the heads up.

As I've got one of the 2.1 displays now, perhaps I can drive the neopixel from a separate Arduino using the neopixel library? I just want a backlight running.

If so do we know which pin is the neopixel data pin? It's not obvious to me from the fysetc page.

Many thanks

@cncmodeller The schematic for the display is here: https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSETC-Mini-12864-Panel/blob/master/hardware/V2.1/Mini12864（RGB）V2.1_sch.pdf

Looks like the Neopixel control signal is the "Red" pin 5 on EXP1

Thanks @gloomyandy I'll give it a go and report back.

This statement frightens me. I'm planning on writting big(ger) meta command macros for Duet2.
Now I'm afraid they don't fit....or is the Neopixel library so huge?

[droftarts]

@o_lampe it’s running out of flash ROM space for the firmware, not RAM. Your macros should be fine.

@CNCModeller I have asked @dc42 if he can add Neopixel support to Duet 2; the other forum post suggested he was going to look into it, and I don’t see a reply about lacking memory (though I know it is tight). If it isn’t possible, I’ll update the documentation to say that only boards with single colour backlight (ie v1.2 of Fysetc 12864 LCD) are supported.

@droftarts thanks for the update! It's usable now but not great. I'll hang on for an update from @dc42 but can always fall back on a separate Arduino if required.

@cncmodeller I'm using a seperate Arduino to drive the backlight. Works fine.

@rilot good to know, thanks.

I have some ATMega44 chips soldered on a small SOP16 PCB(*), would they be powerful enough to drive the Neopixel?
Can you compile your program with Atmega44 selected?
Does it switch the backlight on/off, when I push the button on the LCD?

*) It's the green PCB (Pololu stepper driver footprint)

I just picked up a Mini5+. Sticker on the back says V1.0 and connected to the Fysetc 12864 display with included 2811 RGB drivers. After adding M918 P2 E2 and M150 X1 Q3000000 to my config file, the LCD works just fine, but nothing on the side of M150 controlling the screens LED's. Any ideas?

@leckietech
Which firmware?
And which version of fysetc screen?

[dc42]

Firmware 3.3beta3 will support a short string of Neopixels on Duet WiFi and Ethernet.

I will give this a try when I get to work tomorrow, thanks. Will this firmware allow the M300 to play tones with wifi2? Currently, it just sends DC out to the piezo for the set duration but no oscillation.

Im running RRF 3.2.2 with 12864 display using ST7567 and its got 3 on board 2811 drivers:

Hello!

This is my first post on the forum, so if I apologize in advance for any gaffes I eventually make.

I've been following this topic and others related to ST7567-based LCDs for a while, and a few days ago, I was discussing with a friend about the mess that wiring it for the Duet2 can quickly become, so I made a simple adapter board and wanted to share it, in case anyone has an interest. I have tested the wiring the board is based on, but not yet the board itself (I'll make it on a protoboard before placing an order), but it does look pretty straightforward. Board sits directly over Duet2, and EXP_1/EXP_2 cables go between it and the LCD.

I would very much appreciate feedback and suggestions, should anybody have any.

[dc42]

@leckietech you need to run RRF 3.3 to be able to drive the WS2811 LEDs.

[izeman]

@dc42 I installed 3.3 and a ST7567 https://wiki.fysetc.com/Generic_12864_Panel/ to my duet2 wifi. Did the wiring loom and all seems to work fine. Communication between display and printer works, SD card access works etc.
Only thing not working is the LED.
I set the display up with M918 P2.
And then I should be able to address the Neopixel LEDs with M150. Only command accepted is M150 X2, but it doesnt drive any LED of the display.
And M150 X1 gives Error: M150: Unsupported LED strip type
Any idea what to do to make the backlight of this display work with the Duet Wifi?
